Collaborate with industry leaders on key issues like climate change, green buildings, and sustainable agriculture. Start building a better, sustainable future today!
Climate Change:
(a) How might we apply AI to optimize energy consumption in large-scale desalination plants?
(b) How might we repurpose unwanted filtered wastewater for greenhouse irrigation, to transform an industrial byproduct into a sustainable asset?
(c) How might we produce significantly more clean or renewable energy from an urban industrial setting in a natural resource poor area, other than from traditional solar PV panels?
(d) How might we boost clean energy production at our shipyards by enhancing solar panel performance and exploring novel power generation technologies suitable for harsh environments?
(e) How might we significantly reduce our scope 1 carbon emissions from the steel fabrication process, through innovative solutions?
(f) How might we capture (and store) CO2 emissions arising from our engine test cell activities?
Green Buildings
(a) How might we produce significantly more clean or renewable energy from an urban industrial setting in a natural resource poor area, other than from traditional solar PV panels?
(b) How might we improve indoor thermal comfort in Singapore’s public housing flats in a scalable, energy-efficient way?
(c) How might we replace virgin sand and limestone filler with processed concrete demolition waste (CDW) in pre-mixed building materials?
(d) How might we find novel solutions to mitigate heat and cool down the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect on Sentosa’s outdoor environment?
Sustainable Agriculture and Trade
(a) How might we develop a precise, automated and scaleable pest control solution for palm oil plantations, minimizing pesticide waste and labour?
(b) How might we empower smallholder farmers in APAC with an affordable digital tool that observes and diagnoses soil and crop health for increased yields, bringing precision agriculture within reach?
(c) How might we reimagine last-mile cold chain logistics with cutting-edge, sustainable solutions that significantly reduce our carbon footprint while ensuring optimal food safety and quality?
(d) How might we leverage novel technologies in animal nutrition, manure management and precision farming to create a carbon-negative value chain, setting new industry norms in sustainable food production?
Sustainable Materials
(a) How might we transform sugarcane bagasse and coconut fiber-enhanced bioplastics that revolutionize single-use packaging using bio-processing?
(b) How can we find novel solutions and technologies to convert biomass residual waste into base chemicals for Goodyear tyres?
(c) How might we pioneer a next-generation emulsifier that transforms upcycled materials into high-performance ingredients, enhancing sustainability n food and personal care products?
(d) How might we pioneer eco-friendly packaging solutions for bulk construction products, to reduce environmental impact and set new norms for industrial packaging?
(e) How might we reimagine and pioneer sustainable retail packaging, to minimize waste an carbon footprint while maintaining brand allure and visual appeal?
Open Category
We are inviting innovative solution providers to submit your pitch decks and pilot plans under the SOIC 6th Edition Open Category x TLC, which focuses on 2 themes: Decarbonization and Cool Earth.
